点评:A good winery with an interesting story.
This location was formerly operated as a vineyard and a lavender field. The current owners bought it with the fortune they'd made in finance, so this very small concern is a labor of love. When we arrived the husband of the team was in among the grape vines putting in a good day's work, and the server in our tasting was his wife. A team of workers was laboring to remove the difficult lavender fields.
So they're just starting out, and sometimes things go wrong. Our tasting included a Pinot Noir Blanc! The story was that a hail storm had damaged the skins of the grapes, and their vintner determined they could only make a white from them--now, they could have just called it Pinot Blanc or Pinot Gris but what's in a name, it was good.
We were treated to a small bowl of grapes from their first harvest--to educate our palates. Clearly dedicated.
They're having adventures and showing resilience. Here's wishing them great success.
翻译:一家有着精彩故事的优秀酒庄。
这里曾经是一片葡萄园和一片薰衣草田。现在的主人用他们在金融界赚到的钱买下了它,所以这家小小的酒庄可以说是一份爱的结晶。我们到达时,团队里的丈夫正在葡萄藤丛中忙碌地工作了一天,而我们品酒会上的服务员正是他的妻子。一队工人正在辛勤地清除那些难以清理的薰衣草田。
所以,他们的事业才刚刚起步,有时会出问题。我们品酒会上包括一款黑皮诺白葡萄酒!据说,一场冰雹损坏了葡萄的果皮,酿酒师决定只用这些葡萄酿造白葡萄酒——现在,他们本来可以把它叫做白皮诺或灰皮诺,但不管名字如何,它确实很棒。
他们招待我们一小碗第一次采摘的葡萄——来滋养我们的味蕾。显然,他们用心经营。
他们正在经历冒险,展现出坚韧不拔的精神。祝愿他们取得圆满成功。
